Mom's had a pretty great day!!
She's able to move her toes and lift her arms. Still working on squeezing her hand back when you squeeze hers but the doctors say that's normal. She was saying very few words.
Cristi sent the following text to me earlier today:
"She was trying to talk earlier and said Thursday. I told her what day it was. She did her eye brows a few times. I asked her if she was trying to figure everything out and she shook her head yes. So I told her that she had pneumonia and that her kidneys weren't working well. The more she coughed the better."
She's still coming off of the sedative and was awake most of the day. She had a 3 hour dialysis treatment today as well.
The dialysis lady said that depending on her numbers they may or may not be back tomorrow. The numbers looked good today after her one treatment yesterday.
I happened to call dad a few minutes ago and he was with her so Liberty and I were able to say hi. When Liberty told her, "I love you so so so so so much" (Nana's thing with the kids) dad said she spoke the words, "I love you". I got quite choked up because you could hear the bit of excitement in dads voice when he told Liberty and I that those were the first words he's heard her say today!
God is truly amazing! He continues to give us all strength daily. We know this is only the beginning of the road to recovery, but we are so blessed that He is on our side!
Until the next update in the morning...pray that the dialysis continues to work and the x-rays show improvement in her pneumonia.
God Bless!
